: If you are looking to improve the current build process, here's an idea
: someone could implement that would save a lot of people a lot of time...
:
: My biggest annoyance with building the kernel, compared to Linux, is
: that it insists on building all of the possible kernel modules, even
: though I only want to build the ones that make sense for my hardware.
: In Linux, despite the drawbacks of the menu-based config, it is nice
: being able to easily specify Yes, Module, or No for most options.
:
: The least intrusive approach would probably be to add a second config
: file (e.g. "MYKERNEL.modules") which would contain only the names of the
: modules to build in some make-friendly format. You could then modify
: config( to automatically copy this file, if it exists, to the object
: directory where it would be included by the appropriate Makefile. If no
: .modules file exists, then it would continue the current behavior of
: building all possible modules.
What's wrong with adding:
makeoptions MODULES_OVERRIDE="a b c"
to your config file? It is already supported.

Though, I've used this before to good effect (on slow crash-box):
There's no mention to specify exclusions, only what to include. If
you want only a few things excluded, would you not have to list
everything else in each of the same subdirs?
No biggy, and most systems build kernel/modules very quickly anyway.

I've found that typically there are a lot more you want to leave out
than you want to leave in.
